I know most on here hate Fraley. But he said on today's Norm Show that Saunders ERA will drop by at least a 1/2 run due to having Elvis/Adrian on the lefts side of the infield. He also said it is total BS that Kinsler is making JD out to be the bad guy on Nolan leaving. According to Fraley, Nolan could have the exact same position with the Rangers which he accepted from the Astros.

Of course it never hurts, in the Nolan case,when your son is Prez, and can certainly use some tutelage from dear old dad.

And Lord knows we don't have enough.

It may be too much to hope for, but if I'm wishing, I wish for Hanson, Lewis, Saunders to all look good and it allows us to move Ogando back to the BP permanently.

The innings ogando gives as a starter are too valuable to do that. It's not happening.

I believe it is too much to wish for. Until Holland gets back Ogando will remain in the rotation and likely beyond and that's were the others will fall in as the #5 guys. Just an opinion and observation.

They'll want to split one of those lefties up. If by some chance all of those guys plus Lewis are healthy and effective at the same time, then maybe I can see ogando going to the pen.

Let's don't leave Tepesch out of the equation.

I think you are going to find the rotation is more like Darvish--Perez--Ogando--Tepesch-- then some other guy. Harrison isn't going to be ready on opening day. I know Holland is supposed to be back by the ASB ... but I'll believe that when I see it. Track record for any SP to come back when he's supposed to is like planning on a government program to come in under cost.

So far I like Lewis' chances of being involved.

I do to and with any type of toss up situation, you can bet this team sides with Lewis. JD's radio interview on local ESPN yesterday said as much. Ranger decision makers are pulling for Lewis as well.

To me....the real story with the starters for the first half of the season remains Harry. Hopefully he remains just two weeks behind and taking the baseball every 5 days starting April 15.

 

[Windingmywatch]

Getting strange links in quotes ... so will type fresh ...

I think the TEX faithful would like seeing Colby take an early spot ... but when it comes down to it wonder who Harrison bumps? I'm thinking that if he has a spring like he did last year ... TEX is going to want to ride Tepesch a bit more. Still a ways off figuring it out.

Hanson has thrown 4 pitches and its 2-0 Rockies. Nice!

 

[Bmurph]

Colorado with 1 out was a single away from the cycle in the first inning.

 

[TDs3nOut]

I read the play-by-play on mlb.com. Apparently a ball hit to Moreland in RF was deflected by Martin, resulting in a triple.

Makes it a little better I guess, maybe but not sure? I didn't see that in the box score on CBS, damn I hate non-televised games.

 

[Xx srs bsns xX]

Radio broadcast had it as the ball glancing off Martin's glove, Moreland picking it up and throwing it in. FYI...

Thanks. I'm sure that's a more accurate account.

My opinion is that none of us know anything, outside of Darvish & Perez, until the season starts

That's true. But what would we talk about if we just resigned ourselves to that line of thought?
